 Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight.

 Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight.
Verse 1:
      G                              F/G
I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks,

    G                   F/G
The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back.

    G                     F/G
But I'm the envy of every single guy,

      G                F/G
Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye.

     G                         F/G
When we go out stepping on the town, for a while,

   G                   F/G
My money's low, and my suit's out of style.
Bridge 1:
         G                F/G
But it's all right, if my clothes aren't new,

G                         F/G
 Out of sight, because my heart is true. She says...

Verse 2:
        G                               F/G
She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say,

  G                           F/G
I guess her folks brought her up that way.

    G                                 F/G
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised,

     G                           F/G
In a great big old house full of butlers and maids.
Bridge 2:
G           F/G
 No one, is better than I,

G                    F/G
 I know; I'm just an average guy.
Verse 3:
   G                 F/G
No football hero, or smooth Don Juan,

    G                             F/G
Got empty pockets, you see; I'm a poor man's son.

      G                        F/G
Can't give her the things that money can buy,

         G                    F/G
But I'll never, never make my baby cry.
Bridge 3:
         G               F/G
And it's all right, what I can't do,

G                         F/G
 Out of sight, because my heart is true. She says...
